Part 1 Problem 01: We were wondering in the LEED question if we are going to send a scoreboard with checked applications we did in our design, or we should just mention our environmental design decisions in general? As there are missing data that are needed to fulfill LEED prerequisites.

Teams should say how they will apply the points mentioned in the scoreboard in the LEED official website in a practical way in their designs, not just tick or check the points in the scoreboard.

Part 2 Problem 01: What scale should the architectural model be done at? 48” to 1” on paper (1:48)? 96” to 1” on paper (1:96)?

The scale of the architectural model is up to the discretion of the teams. The only requirement for the scale of the model is that the render and drawings fit on size 8 ½” x 11” paper.

Part 2 Problem 02: For the architectural model, what should we assume the structural member material to be? For example: glulam, steel or concrete?

For the architectural model, you can assume any material that you think would be appropriate for the members. Balsa wood is required for the structural model, but there is no specified material requirement for the architectural model.
